I just had Trapdoor on and it switch to Bounce Man right after. This is why shuffle is dangerous

Air Catcher 🥰🥰

Trapdoor is one of their best early songs though.

hybrid comet
#

air catcher is like top of discography ro me its so good

fossil wigeon
#

To me is like Air catcher < Trapdoor < A car < Taxi cab

#

if only they had put the damn scream in the studio version

#

If you consider that The Line is in a series and trapdoor isn't then how would that turn out?

Why are the corpses fighting guys

without it the song just feels a bit flatter

rough gulch

#

I wonder if there is a good live version of Trapdoor

rough gulch

for réal 😭😭

daring moon

I’m voting the line, it came out a year after my grandmother’s passing and means a lot to me

tardy spruce

so i gotta give it to trapdoor here

Trapdoor is so good, it’s got the best scream until Lovely in my opinion

I once had a playlist on smart shuffle play Goner followed by Ronan by Taylor swift( too sad. Auto skip) and I have apparently not learned to turn off smart shuffle

But

#

Idc

#

also on this one I'm voting Trapdoor

#

the live version is more compelling then The Line live, no hate to the line though, i love both these songs

tough scroll
tardy spruce
#

the line is one of the few songs where i think ur insane if you DON’T prefer the live version

tough scroll
#

fr

#

The live version is so much better

#

but Trapdoor live is just a little better than the line live imo

#

but i still love the line this was really hard to choose

nova pulsar
eager halo
#

I prefer TOP live in general, but I did discover them live, so I think the bar got set high at one point

#

We watch the game awards every year and was excited that they were performing. I thought I was prepared because I had gone to the Clancy tour. I was not

nova pulsar
eager halo
#

I need the game awards orchestra to travel with them.

tough scroll
#

also the studio version of Trapdoor has a Tyler scream unlike The Line studio version, which is a huge selling point for me

flint wigeon
#

maybe a very hot take but I fear the line also has some bias because of the arcane relations ..

eager halo
#

omg there is a live version of trapdoor from 2024

#

let me check the sound on it before sending

tough scroll
tough scroll
nova pulsar
#

like i love the line outside the show too, dont get me wrong its really good, but the show absolutely factors into it for a lot of folks

#

i love arcane but i try to keep it out of my rankings (i say as if i have precise rankings)

rustic orchid
#

i really dont know lowkey

tough scroll
#

the only other songs from Arcane that i can think of that I like are Heavy Is The Crown by Linkin Park and Enemy by Imagine Dragons

rustic orchid
#

trapdoor is just too iconic

flint wigeon
#

I see a lot of people say it should be #1 of all time of tyler's screams and i do looove the line live version but I personally thing that there are other songs with better screams

eager halo
#

I have seen Heavy is The Crown live lol

tough scroll
eager halo
#

I'm stoked I got to see Linkin Park and TOP within' a month of each other.

tough scroll
#

THAT'S AWESOME

eager halo
#

I recorded some of it. But only the long scream because I wanted to see how long she did it for

lyric lichen
#

The line live was obviously amazing, but even just the studio version of the song is one of their best. For sure my favorite of their lower energy songs, and I like it wayyy more than trapdoor

eager halo
#

I feel like my preference on the song battle depends on my mood.

Do I want a healing ballad or sad-angry piano noises?

This is unfortunately probably the only win The Line is getting

the line is going to win but i hate it for it

ornate ruin
fleet eagle
#

nuh uh pensivecowboy

ornate ruin
#

I’ve seen people voting against Trapdoor purely because they dont agree with it winning the self titled bracket lmao

fleet eagle
#

the line studio version is a good song but mid compared to trapdoor

ornate ruin
#

So its getting cucked throughout this bracket

fleet eagle
#

the line live could go against

#

but studio trapdoor has such emotion and depth to it

fleet eagle
#

taxi cab deserved that win

#

or a classic like friend please

ornate ruin
#

I’m more of a Fallaway man myself

fleet eagle
#

i say this big trapdoor fan myself its top 3 in the album for me but not #1

ornate ruin
fleet eagle
#

right 😭

#

we know thats the first song the band ever wrote

ornate ruin
#

The animatic gave it such a PR boost

fleet eagle

its so beautiful too

one of the only songs where i feel the janky production actually suits it

if it makes you feel better i dont like the pantaloon or march to the sea

ornate ruin
#

I mean whilst we’re here unintentionally bashing Self Titled I got something embarrassing to say

ornate ruin
fleet eagle
#

no thats valid

heavy kelp
#

The problem for me is... the sound of ST itself is a lot slower to me and its not something I like as much as their later albums

fleet eagle
#

i do not shun you for this 🙏

ornate ruin
# fleet eagle no thats valid

I had listened to every single album hundreds of times before I ever listened to Self Titled in full once though lmao

fleet eagle
#

id just like the both of you to note youre talking to someone with a st username so tread lightly

ornate ruin
#

The only songs I listened to was IOFB, Johnny Boy and Oh Ms Believer

heavy kelp
#

I am not bashing anyone for liking the album

#

That was my only experience of Self Titled until September 2024

So yeah

Can I just say I hate you guys for screwing over RAB and Self Titled?

fleet eagle

jumpsuit is goated and always will be

ornate ruin
#

The better song lost smh

fleet eagle
#

here's a controversial opinion

candid lichen
fleet eagle
#

TO ME trench would be a perfect album if smithereens, neon gravestones, and the hype were cut

opaque idol
#

I don’t know who @‘d me but I am indeed voting trapdoor

fleet eagle
#

apologizing now

fleet eagle
#

i do not like the hype.

#

it is one of 5 songs in their discography that i don't like

candid lichen
ornate ruin
#

You just said you love the funky sounds off of trench yet you hate the hype

#

#okbro

fleet eagle
#

the hype is not funky

golden moss
candid lichen
ornate ruin
#

Saying Neon Gravestones should be cut thought

fleet eagle
#

i like the hype berlin

ornate ruin
#

That is an outlandish take

fleet eagle
#

os much

fleet eagle
#

want that

#

on the album

golden moss
fleet eagle
#

i love the location session versions

ornate ruin
fleet eagle
#

smithereens is very weak

eternal minnow
#

Bro is the line wins this im gonna loee it

fleet eagle
#

i like the performances of smithereens where its just him and the piano

ornate ruin
candid lichen

fleet eagle
ornate ruin
#

Chester would make more sense

candid lichen
fleet eagle
#

i would like neon gravestones as a separate single not on the album

eager halo
#

I understand people not liking Neon Gravestones, but I think it is intended to kind of make people uncomfortable.

candid lichen
#

They were only a year apart

fleet eagle
#

but it disrupts the album experience to me

#

it used to be my favorite on the album

#

so i get why people love it

eager halo
#

Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell were who I thought of when I heard it

candid lichen
#

See to me it makes sense both album and lore wise, and musically fits really well with Leave the City

fleet eagle
#

i wish the hype was swapped with hype berlin on the album

heavy kelp
candid lichen
#

But just my opinion

fleet eagle
#

my feelings towards smithereens neon gravestones and the hype may be because theyre literally just dropped in the middle of trench and i think part of that is so that they could put NATN as the 9th song

ornate ruin
fleet eagle
#

i'd probably be more fond

ornate ruin
#

I love single The Craving so much but Jennas Version just sort of

#

Exists

candid lichen
fleet eagle
#

stick neon gravestones towards the end

#

right around the legend leave the city duo

#

and i'd be very okay with it

ornate ruin
candid lichen

Especially with Clancy

fleet eagle
#

trench is like

#

intro has the best 5 song run ever

candid lichen
ornate ruin
#

Clancy’s track order pisses me the fuck off

fleet eagle
#

then bam smithereens... neon gravestones....the hype.... BAM BEST CLOSING RUN EVER

fleet eagle
#

dont even get me started

#

clancy's trakc order is like if you threw darts at a board and was like

#

yeah

#

sure

#

that works

ornate ruin
raw nymph
#

Oh em gee do I LOVE trapdoor 😼

fleet eagle
#

what in the everloving name of fuck is vignette->the craving->lavish->navigating doing

#

the only thing that makes esnse on that album

#

is overcomp opening and ps closing

#

everything else is completely fucking random

candid lichen
#

It does feel like a bit of a vibe change and uhhhhhh

fleet eagle
#

i also accept backslide and snap back being far apart that makes sense too

ornate ruin
fleet eagle
#

but genuinely what the hell were they thinking

ornate ruin
#

Like bro

fleet eagle
#

no breach tracklist makes so much more sense to me

ornate ruin
fleet eagle
#

they tried

#

me with breach tracklist

ornate ruin
#

Surely it would make more sense going from Downstairs to Centre Mass

fleet eagle
#

its an improvement compare dto clancy

raw nymph
candid lichen
#

I think Overcompensate into NS into Backslide makes sense, the PS at the end. The rest are indeed a bit wild on order but I'm not mad about it.

fleet eagle
#

SAI tracklist is the funniest thing too

hybrid tangle
#

IF I CROSS THE LINEEEEE

fleet eagle
#

bc they literally just were like

#

lets put all the fun songs here

#

and then the 2 weird ones at the end

#

yeah

hybrid tangle
#

The line guys

#

Please

ornate ruin
fleet eagle
#

the last album ordering that makes any sense to me is blurryface

#

i get whats happening in that album

#

there is FLOW

candid lichen
fleet eagle
#

no trees to truce i agree with

ornate ruin
#

Yeah thats fine

fleet eagle
#

tally to intentions is weird

lime crescent
#

Oh man.

fleet eagle
#

trees and truce are thematically twins

#

tally is completely fucking unrelated

#

tally should be closer to center mass imo

#

maybe like downstairs to tally to center mass to cottonwood would make more sense

#

then stick robot voices towards the end

ornate ruin
#

Tally feels like a Clancy leftover that they just thought “yeah lets wait a year to drop this”

candid lichen
fleet eagle
#

you could argue

fleet eagle
#

that the entire album is about the cycle

candid lichen
#

Well yeah

ornate ruin
#

You’re going from an up-beat rock song to

#

Reverse instrumental

#

Like ????

fleet eagle
#

tally is too like

#

tally is a very pensive song and i dont like that its second to last

#

it feels unresolved

floral pebble
ornate ruin
floral pebble
#

drag path shouldve replaced intentions

lime crescent
#

Anyway I think I have to go with Trapdoor.

candid lichen
#

After the heat of battle with the internal, you get immediately pensive

fleet eagle
ornate ruin
fleet eagle
#

drag path makes me bawl like a child

lime crescent
#

I loved Intentions at the end of the City Walls video but Drag Path should’ve been the last song on the album.

fleet eagle
#

^^^

#

intentions at the end of city walls perfect

#

city walls opening the album feels weird to me actually

candid lichen
fleet eagle
#

rawfear would be such a fire opener with teh vocals and everything

candid lichen
#

Like last 3 City Walls, Intentions, Drag Path

floral pebble
#

city walls is the best opener

floral pebble
#

i get story wise it doesnt make sense entirely

fleet eagle
#

rawfear sets up the album theme verryyyy well too

floral pebble
#

but sound wise that is so fuckinghype

candid lichen
#

I'd also accept The Contract

floral pebble
#

rawfear lacks that opening punch its perfect as track 2 like holy cook

ornate ruin
#

About to give myself the nastiest musical whiplash of my life 😍 😍 😍

lime crescent
#

It’s definitely an opening song I think it might just feel weird bc the video is the end.

fleet eagle
#

i genuinely think they got stuck in the mindset that every opener NEEDS to be hype like jumpsuit; overcompensate and city walls are gorgeous tracks but they feel a bit like trying to replicate what happened with jumpsuit

#

(let me clarify i think overcompensate > jumpsuit its my favorite song on clancy but regardless)

ornate ruin
candid lichen
ornate ruin
#

Its by far my least played Clancy song

fleet eagle
candid lichen
#

Oh my goodness I must have played it a hundred times the week it came out

fleet eagle
#

overcompensate is my most streamed song of theirs 😭

fleet eagle
#

yes LMAO

candid lichen
#

It might be mine too

fleet eagle
#

it works on me

#

but

#

its very silly

floral pebble
candid lichen
#

I feel like there's a message in it too

ornate ruin
#

Tbf

lime crescent
#

Naur I love Overcompensate it had the exact intended effect on me when it dropped lmao. I felt so unbelievably hyped.

ornate ruin
#

The best way to listen to Overcompensate is through vinyl

candid lichen
#

"I created this world to feel some control destroy it if I want" reiterated. We need to remember that it's his world and he can write what he wants in it.

floral pebble
lime crescent
#

Yes.

floral pebble
#

I'm like a sleeper agent and that song sets me off

lime crescent
#

That intro still gets me hyped.

candid lichen
#

Just like in Backslide with "kind of wishing that I never did Saturday". He can do what he wants and doesn't have to pander

ornate ruin
fleet eagle
#

the difference for me is that overcompensate introduces the theme of clancy ("overtake your former self" "days feel like a perfect length...the years seem way too short for my soul", etc.) but city walls gets bogged down in lore and feels like something that should come later, like after tally

candid lichen
ornate ruin
fleet eagle
#

wow i fucking love city walls

jumpsuit is lore but balances that line perfectly

It's a concept album though?

so are most of their albums dawg

Overcompensate was more on the nose

jk

floral pebble
#

It feels like the albums open and close with explicit connections to the lore but the songs in between do the character building and universe sculpting

#

I can't say anyone's interpretations are wrong but I really approach these albums specially because they are special to me

fleet eagle
#

overcompensate has welcome back to trench & 2 lines referring to clancy, every single verse of city walls is an explicit lore reference

fleet eagle
#

i'm just sharing my opinion please don't act like you're unique in that respect

candid lichen

yeah that too

It depends on if we mean the line game awards live OR the actual ost??? Like the actual ost is NOT better than Trapdoor but with the scream yes it is 💔😭😭😭 HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO TELL

Not to Center Mass

#

HOTY doesn’t have a Josh dun name drop

#

And the Center Mass scream is better

jaunty siren
jaunty siren
# lone plover And the Center Mass scream is better

Just cause a song has Josh dun in it doesn’t automatically make it better

And the hoty has like 2 or 3 screams which is more than center mass, plus center mass scream honestly could’ve been screamed more

AND hoty has entertain my faith

So it really is better

# jaunty siren Just cause a song has Josh dun in it doesn’t automatically make it better And t...

Look it’s probably because I’m not religious so the lyrics just don’t get me in HOTY, but personally the lyrics of Center Mass are just so so much better. And yes, HOTY has screams but they are very different from the “that part they aim FOORRRR” scream like they’re a different type and I prefer the type that Center Mass has. And yeah I was just joking about the Josh Dun name drop but still

lone plover
#

(Also I just really like Center Mass it’s my 15th most listened to TOP song of all time despite only being 2 months old)

trail python
lone plover
#

But

#

The ending of Center Mass feels so personal

#

He’s never talked about his Tattoos before

jaunty siren
#

And the rhyming and flow of hoty… chefs kiss

LOL it’s fun to say

Hoty is so fun to sing

jaunty siren
#

I mean that’s how I saw it

lone plover
jaunty siren
lone plover
#

…also that would be a stark contrast to the lyrics of Cottonwood

jaunty siren
#

Well the whole point of cottonwood is to remember his grandpa and then with the funeral lyrics in center mass…

lone plover
#

Cottonwood talks about how little he remembers his Grandpa but he’s glad he was there. But has to “look back in time through a telescope” to remember his Grandpa. Doesn’t really fit with Center Mass talking about how nothing will ever be the same

jaunty siren
#

What other funeral would there even be

lone plover
#

Plus Cottonwood said “the wind was tame” while Center Mass says “I don’t want to say what happened” as if something big happened to cause the funeral

jaunty siren
#

Unless someone else in his life passed that I don’t know about

lone plover
trail python
#

keeping in mind I've been clancying for over a year, center mass is the only one to be able to do this... it really is that good

jaunty siren
trail python
lone plover
#

Although I could absolutely be wrong

#

I mean some Cottonwood lyrics imply that his Grandpa died to taking his own life

#

“I don’t condemn you” “were you sad or brave?”

It’s hard to figure out

This ones tricky, they're both very incredible songs, the line has more of a steady cinematic develop over the whole song (plus the live scream but idk if that counts rn) while trapdoor has more energy and mood shifts as well as deeper lyrics. They're so similar but so different... i think im going to go with trapdoor though

#

My main issue with self titled is the vocals, his singing just doesnt rlly sound great but i dont think that rlly matters as much

The craziest part is if either song loses the song kinda fits

#

Like watching Trapdoor fall through the blatant trapdoor and ‘take me out, finish this waste of a life’

#

And the line obviously you got “I can’t fight this time now” and “keep the memories of who I was before” and “I guess I never really faced my fears before”

#

I could go on
